Bug ID: 208648
Summary: Suggestion for adding detail about Xsetup_* and
Xsession to FreeBSD Handbook: 5.6. The X Display
Manager
Product: Documentation
Version: Latest
Hardware: Any

Suggestion for adding (or similar) to FreeBSD Handbook: 5.6. The X Display
Manager ...
/start
5.6.3 Xsetup_#
Here background image and xdm applications can be launched. To change the color
you can use "x11/xsetroot," but changing the image requires an application like
"x11/bgs".
Example:
#!/bin/sh
bgs ~/mypic.jpg &
#xsetroot &
#xconsole &
xconsole can be commented out without concerns, if it is not needed.
5.6.4 Xsession
Customization is better done by ~/.xsession.
Example of ~/.xsession:
#!/bin/sh
exec xterm &
exec fluxbox
exec $1
In this example, applications are ended with an "&". The desktop choice is last
on the list, and is absent of an "&". Be sure "~/.xsession" is read and execute
permissible by owner and group.
chmod 660 ~/.xsession
/end
.xsession (and Xsession) is covered in the next section, but it has more to do
with XDM. Thank you.
